Execution

The real story of business is what happens on the ground. All the decisions that you need to make and actions you take. Day after day. Month after month.

We often hear people talk about day-to-day work in a disdainful manner, saying “it’s tactical, not strategic.” Their implication is that the important work is the higher-level strategic work. This is a dangerous way to think. The real goal needs to be that everything you do has a reason, fits a logic, and helps you meet your goals. Every tactic should be part of your strategy and contribute to its success.

Execution is hard. It is where you come face to face with bad assumptions, changing circumstances, and impractical strategies. Execution is where your ability to engage your colleagues, employees, customers and business partners is put to the test. It should also be where you learn, adjust, and improve your approach. Blur the line between tactics and strategy. Make every move count.
